What do you guys think? Do you think it is a good step to go for a job that gives you better learning exposure but getting a not-so-good pay and more working hours than to go for a job that gives you better pay but a slightly less learning curves. Do you think it's good to wait for the moment to shine or to get it now but not sure whether it will shine as bright?

Work passionately for money!

Seriously, you gotta love your job for more than the pay - although the pay is definitely a factor. The more you learn and the better your talents, though, the bigger the salary you can demand later. Sometimes it's better to sacrifice a little now to gain a lot later.

yeah, i've thought of that too, but just not sure whether the sacrifices guarantee that we'll gain a lot later.

Go for a mix if you want a nice life. Really, if you want a house, a car and travel you need money big time. That doesn't mean you need to get the best payed job, but a job you like with good salary. I find my colleagues and the way we work and not doing the same work for hours on end the most important thing. As long as I can check my mail en TP during work...I got a good job with parts being related to my study. But what I really want to be is carjournalist in summer and traveljournalist in winter.....out of some dream, I think it's pretty exhausting.
